ABSTRACT:
A switch device includes a case with a switch member pivotally engaged with the open top of the case. Two terminals extend from a bottom of the case and a bimetallic plate has a first end fixed to one of the terminals. A distal end of the bimetallic plate is located above the other terminal. A hooking member has one end connected to the switch member and the other end has a hooking portion with which the distal end of the bimetallic plate is engaged. The distal end of the bimetallic plate is lifted when the switch member is pushed to “ON” position. The hook portion is defined between first and second boards and the second board located lower than the first board is shorter so that the bimetallic plate is allowed to be deformed without obstruction when the switch device is overloaded.
